After watching a lot of reports and watching the video of the match between Atletico Madrid and Barcelona a few times, Valencia coach Unai Emery believes that Atletico Madrid has a lot more attack than last season, but their defense is also correspondingly much worse, so if Valencia wants to win the game, it must not passively choose to defend. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

So Emery's tactics for Valencia were to attack - the attack of suppression, let go of the counter-suppression, and strive to play the rhythm of the attack with Atletico Madrid.

There is nothing wrong with this tactical choice, but Valencia are not always good at attacking, and they do better defence than attack.

Normally, when teams play against Valencia, they have to have a headache to break through their defence.

The same goes for Atletico Madrid.

Before the start of the game, Wan Sheng studied Valencia's defense, and he kept watching Valencia's game videos to get a detailed understanding of the team's defensive layout and the ability of the defenders.

Only by knowing oneself and knowing one's opponent can one win a hundred battles!

After increasing their knowledge of Valencia, Wansheng also passed this information on to the players so that they could play better on the field of play against the opponent's solid defense.

But Wansheng felt as if he had done useless work.

Valencia didn't defend much at all, but from the first minute of the game, they let go of playing against Atletico Madrid.

What is the other party doing?

Do you want to take advantage of home advantage to score first?

Wan Sheng was a little confused.

――――

At the start of the game, Atletico Madrid played a tentative attack.

After Valencia completed the break, he suddenly launched a quick counterattack, which caught Atletico Madrid a little off guard, but fortunately, the team did not press too high and did not give the opponent a chance.

Valencia's forte is counter-attacking, so it's no surprise to see them play like this.

But then it was different.

In the frontal advancement, Valencia's front, midfielder and two full-backs all stepped forward, and they had the momentum to suppress Atletico Madrid in the half.

In the face of Valencia's strong attack, Atletico Madrid chose to retreat.

The same is true of Atletico Madrid's tactical play, when the team is on the defensive side, the three fronts are fully compressed back to squeeze the opponent's attacking space to ensure the safety of the defense and the goal.

Seeing Atletico Madrid retreat into their own half, the Valencia players were suddenly full of confidence.

Before the start of the game, manager Unai Emery analysed Atletico Madrid for them, and he said it in detail, which basically means that they should try not to let Atletico Madrid attack, and to get a suppressed situation to ensure that the team is always in the ascendancy.

Now Atletico Madrid's third line is retreating, just hitting what Emery said.

"Atletico Madrid can't defend! They can only retreat and defend together in three lines to maintain the stability of the back, so we can keep pressing them to play and forcing them to ......defend passively all the time."

Thinking about this, the Valencia players feel very happy.

Valencia is a strong team in La Liga, but in many games, they still play very depressed, because their main style of play is defensive counter-attack, while most teams in La Liga play attacking football.

No player wants their team to focus on defense, in other words, who doesn't want to play good attacking football?

So when Unai Emery suggested that the team should go on the attack, every Valencia player was excited and looking forward to it.

Now that the opponent's performance has fulfilled what the coach said, the Valencia players began to think that this game would be a game that could be played freely and as a team!

So the two teams then fought against each other.

Valencia's strength is still very strong, when they attack, their overall and threat is also quite strong, they may not be as good as Barcelona, but they are still much better than the average mid-table team in La Liga.

In the first five minutes of the game, Atletico Madrid was very passive.

Wan Sheng watched the game and felt very strange, in his opinion, Valencia's best way to play is to defend and counterattack, but after a few offensive and defensive transitions, it is obvious that the opponent is fighting for the initiative in the midfield and trying to suppress his own team.

One thing is for sure, Valencia definitely didn't focus on defense!

But what's the point of doing so?

Wan Sheng had no idea that Valencia would play like this, and it would be understandable if a team that is good at attacking, such as Villarreal, would play against Atletico Madrid, after all, they use the best tactical play.

Valencia?

When did this defensive counter-attacking team become open in terms of play?

Wan Sheng thought about it, and couldn't help but turn his head to look at the Valencia coach's seat, and Emery swept over as if he sensed.

After the two looked at each other, Emery smiled 'unfathomable'.

It's like 'everything is under control'.

"Is that so?"

Wan Sheng couldn't figure out what advantage Valencia could have.

――――

Soon fifteen minutes passed.

In the time that passed the game, Valencia was the absolute protagonist.

They sat at the Mestalla Stadium and quickly got into the groove, and with the shouts of the fans, they suppressed Atletico Madrid's attack again and again.

Atletico Madrid looked a bit passive, unable to find any good chances in attack, very passive defensively, and the only thing is that they didn't allow Valencia to find any good chances - their goal is still relatively safe.

Perhaps, the last point is what matters!

In Wansheng's view, in the previous game, the team did not make any mistakes, the defense was still relatively stable, and there was no performance in the offense, mainly because the game had just started, and many players had just entered the state.

Rationally, Atletico Madrid's players are gradually adapting to the game, their performance is gradually improving, and the time of possession and the frequency of attacks are gradually increasing.

These are what Wansheng sees.

But Valencia's supporters certainly don't see it that way, and the Valencia local radio commentator 'analyzed', "The game is very favorable for Valencia, the team has an all-round advantage in terms of possession and number of attacks!" ”

"We can expect it to be an easy victory!"

"Atletico Madrid beat Barcelona by a big score at home, but they have to wait for defeat at the Mestalla Stadium ......"

This is clearly blind confidence in Valencia.

At this time, even Valencia coach Unai Emery saw the problem, and it was very obvious that Valencia had not even been able to get a good chance in the past.

"If Atletico Madrid didn't defend well, why did Valencia attack for fifteen minutes and not even have a good chance in front of goal?"

Emery was a little confused.

But Emery doesn't want to think about it deeply, no matter how you explain it, it doesn't seem to be good for the team, so he simply 'hopes', it's just that the team's luck has not been good in the previous time.

"Surely it wasn't good luck!"

Emery gritted his teeth.

――――

Unai Emery is not God, and his thoughts cannot affect the game in progress.

After nearly 20 minutes of play, most of the players had found their groove, and Atletico Madrid adapted to Valencia's attack, and the tactics began to play.

When Valencia's wave of attacks ended, the football was controlled by Atletico Madrid.

Valencia was unwilling to be tackled, they still wanted to continue to suppress Atletico Madrid to play, so the two frontcourt players wanted to counter-steal on the spot, and several midfielders did not retreat at the first time, but looked at the steals of their teammates, and seemed to continue to insert assists.

Just then, Mesut Ozil suddenly slid the ball straight at the feet of Assunsan.

Assunção, who joined Atletico Madrid two years ago, played for Porto and has been 'passable' for a long time.

In the summer transfer, Wan Sheng wanted to 'clean up' Assunsang, but the player couldn't afford to sell him, so he kept Assunsan in the team to add depth to the bench.

No one expected that this time Asonsan would have such a good performance!

After receiving a pass from Mesut Ozil, Assunção quickly turned and hooked the ball forward with his right leg, just in one action, which just happened to pass the football and Soldado, who stepped forward to press.

"Beautiful!"

Even the on-site commentator couldn't help but exclaim.

Assunção probably didn't expect him to be able to pull off such a beautiful pass, so he took a step forward and hesitated for a moment before handing the ball to Morris in front.

Morris distributed the ball to Raul Garcia, who passed forward and the football was at the feet of Diego Costa.

Atletico Madrid took advantage of a few passes to get the ball from the back to the front.

At this time, Valencia even had a midfielder who didn't have time to retreat to their own half, and they were a little flustered overall.

"Atletico Madrid's counterattack! Their offense is too fast! ”

The Mestalla Stadium commentator was a little surprised.

Less than ten seconds ago, Valencia was still attacking, but after Atletico Madrid completed the break, the ball reached the edge of the Valencia penalty area in a few passes.

This...... It's too fast!

"It's said that Valencia is good at counter-attacking, but Atletico Madrid seems to be faster......"

It was Valencia who were attacking before, and they even wanted to counter-attack on the spot, not realizing the danger at all, so now they have no time to defend at all.

So when Diego Costa gets the ball, there's only one David Navarro to face.

David Navarro is an experienced Valencia player who has been playing for Valencia since 2001 and has been a regular in Valencia's defence with the exception of a one-and-a-half-year loan spell at Mallorca.

David Navarro is experienced in one-on-one defending, his eyes are fixed on the ball at Diego Costa's feet, his legs slowly moving back, and there is no doubt that Navarro will be able to break the ball immediately if Diego Costa makes a small mistake.

"It's a clash of individual abilities!"

That's what the Mestalla commentator saw, and maybe David Navarro wanted it to be, but Diego Costa wasn't alone, he made a move to break through and pushed the ball to the left the next moment.

A figure followed!

Ozil!

The German kid ran in rhythm and swung his left foot against the football!

"Bang!"

With a muffled sound, the ball headed straight for the goal.

Valencia goalkeeper Cesar did his best to save, but the ball was so fast that by the time he got into position, the ball had already flown into the net.
